East of Sami the road, which leads both
to Kolwa and Punjgoor, lies along the
course of the Khor, which is frequently
passed and repassed. At places the
road runs up the stony bed of the Khor,
and is disagreeable to travel, but every
where level. Hetok is a name given to
one part of the valley, where are several
fields under cultivation. From that to
Kolwah there is no cultivation in the
valley but sufficient vegetation in most
parts to supply food to flocks of goats
and sheep which are kept by wandering
Belooch tribes. Their Halks or Tomuns
are but few and small.
The Kolwah road which continues east
along the valley was here lefb the
road 3 to Punjgoor branching off and.
passing through the northern range. of
hills. The pass is winding for a mile
but not difficult. Springs of water exist
amongst the hills. By one of these north
of the hills, is the usual halting place.
It is a bad one, forage being scarcely
obtainable.
